Facebook has urged internet users not to meet strangers they have only had contact with online after a teenage girl was kidnapped and murdered by a man she met on a social networking site.

In a statement, Facebook said it was "deeply saddened" by Ashleigh's death. The statement urged people not to meet anyone they have only had contact with online unless they are certain they know who they are, "as there are unscrupulous people in the world with malevolent agendas".

The mother of the murdered child urged people to - "Please just be careful. Make sure you please do tell somebody if you are going to meet a person. That is the message, don't go on your own."

The development of The Chase Hub theme is now complete and as you can see the new look is now in place!  Everything should work perfectly and now look nicer than ever before.  We hope you like it!  There's a discussion topic in The Student Area and for you to give your opinion.  If you've never been to the student area before it will asks for an enrolment key - just use your current school year (ie. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 6).

How much sleep do you get?  What time do you usually go to bed?

Health experts have linked a lack of sleep to problems with concentration, behaviour and school work. About half the children asked said they were staying up to play on computer games or their mobile phones or to watch television.  For children aged 10, experts recommend at least 10 hours of sleep a night.  Scientists have linked a lack of sleep in children to problems with concentration and schoolwork.  Energy levels can be lower and sleep-deprived children can be irritable or behave badly.
